Default Lowe's safety glasses for cycling

I read a post here many months ago mentioning that the
safety glasses at Lowe's hardware (landscaper's model) make
great cycling glasses. Well, after using them for as many
months, I have to agree and pass on the tip. I have clear
and tinted. They *are* plastic, so you need to take care
when cleaning them. But then, at nine bucks a pair, it's no
big thing to keep an extra pair ready.

So, whoever that was ..... thanks. That was a great tip.
(The tinted ones are UV blockers, too)

(And I also agree that they *do* look good.)

Integrity is obvious. The lack of it is common.

Do these work over prescription glasses?

Well, let me see.

... ... ... They fit over my reading glasses (the stems are
adjustable - slide in and out). ... I'd say most likely.

Lowe's also has the boxier looking kind with side panels
that surely would, but the ones I'm talking about are wrap
around - and actually rather τΏΤ¬ stylish. (They look like
the old Oakley's I remember.)
